Similarities

Eyes of four cameras are capturing performers who are the guides on a journey through their locations. The audience is invited to experience a blend of four seemingly similar places, traveling from the world of small details until the performers‘ interaction with their environments gradually reveals the uniqueness of each.

Everything happened in the same time accompanied by the unifying live music from Prague. Low latency streams of the four locations were sent to a live mixing station of Studio Biscoe in Copenhagen where they were composed and projected for the audience. No post-production; just real-time interaction on the 3rd April 2017.

The performance was a part of the Network Performing Arts Production Workshop, Copenhagen 2017.

Longing for the Impossible for the Moment it is Real

Collaboration on the networked performance hosted by the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen – Denmark’s first public networked performance.

Longing for the Impossible comprised 5 contemporary compositions which featured a mix of performers in Copenhagen, Barcelona and London.

Jana Bitterova collaborated with dancers to create a networked choreography following a visual theme of orbiting spheres by Studio Biscoe (inspired by the atomic model of Danish physicist Niels Bohr). The performers – regardless of physical location – were all elements of the same performance space as experienced by the audience.

Perfunctory – composition by Rob Durnin for string quartet and marimba, two vocalist (one in Copenhagen and one in London) and a dancer Indrek Kornel in Copenhagen.

Invisible Movement – composition by Anna Nikolova performed by Anna on Disklavier with dancer Marie Lykkemark Simonsen in Copenhagen.

Your clone continues to run for his life – composition by James Black for Carophone (a custom instrument) performed by James, a Harpist dueting in London, and two dancers (Irene García and Elia Genis) in Barcelona.

The Taking After The Kiss – composition by Xavier Bonfil for Marimba and electronics with duet of dancers – Georgia Kapodistria in Copenhagen and Bruno Ramri in Barcelona.

The Incredible Voyage of Kryštof Harant

An installation and dance performance within the ruined walls of Pecka Castle poetically interpreting the journeys of former resident and renaissance Bohemian nobleman Kryštof Harant.

Harant undertook a two year pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1598/99 about which he wrote and illustrated a unique book Journey from Bohemia to the Holy Land, by way of Venice and the Seapublished in 1608. The purposefully naive animations used in the installation are directly drawn from the beautiful – and sometimes fantastical – Harant’s drawings. Music for the performance includes parts of Missa Quinis Vocibussuper Dolorosi martir composed by Harant.

They create performance environment where gestures of the visual artist creates visuals on sides of the performance space, becoming the physical motion of the dance artist, and to which the visual artist can in turn respond.

BBP are integrating the technology (gestural sensors, cameras, projection-mapping) that facilitate the interaction between the artists in a fully improvised and structured context. Working from an improvisation, they are interested in the notion of borders and boundaries in both abstract and narrative sense. They also collaborate with live musician Oak Matthias.

Bridge to Everywhere: 234

The contemporary telepresence multidisciplinary performance that examines the cultural ties formed by immigrants between their adopted home and their place of origin; the links that are established virtually between these places and peoples through the Internet.
Bridge to Everywhere connected performers in Miami and Havana – in two locations, which are only 234 miles far from each other, nevertheless due to the political situation it is challenging to make any direct connection. We built the bridge between Cuban immigrants living in Miami and their country of origin.
